I've ended up with a bunch of different credit cards and I get annoyed picking between them even without the additional complication of them being identical in appearance. For me it's my daily driver, my Costco branded card, my airline's amex card, my USD denominated card, and my work-issued card. There are also two ATM/debit cards in there which I'll occasionally choose at small merchants where I know the CC fees hi
